There are some golden rules you just don't learn at school or home. You just learn them them by yourself as the result of you successes and failures as life goes by.
Sometimes they might be very different from what you were taught or what your family values are and you might feel it would have been very valuable to learn them sooner in your life.
So what is the most important one you have learnt so far?

I'm not rich, at least not in a monetary sense, but there are many things that I have learned through my life experience:
1) Always be yourself
2) Always be truthful, even if it is putting you in a bad light
3) LISTEN..there is a time to talk, but mostly LISTEN
4) Ask questions and pay attention to the answers
5) ALWAYS be faithful to your employer
6) Work HARD and Success will eventually come to you
7) Keep your goals in mind and work towards them daily
8) Money is NOT the MOST important thing.....Family is....
9) You will change jobs, positions, or careers at least 6 times
10) Trust is earned not given....earn it....
These are my top 10...there are probably a hundred more that I can give you..
And of course there is always the the obvious....save your pennies and invest wisely....careful with your money and it will take care of itself....

There is no such thing as "Get rich quick" No matter how flashy and attractive it may seem. The only way to become wealthy is to save and work hard. If you are smart with your money and don't hyper-consume than you will see your money work for you and produce a large income that can help you retire someday. Just start small like 3-5%. That's how much of your income you should start saving and than slowly work your way up so that its not a shock to you. I would strongly recommend talking to a professional like a financial adviser or a stock broker.

Putting God first, having good work ethics, being honest, faithful, and read.
Three books I recommend. "The Millionaire Mind," "Rich Dad-Poor Dad", and "Financial Peace Revisited".
The number one life experience I had was in going through Finacial Peace Univ. FPU

Start saving/investing the minute you start your first job.
Wish I'd done that!

Learn that everything you say is right. I'm not kidding.
